Stress, pressure and performance standards affect not only athletes but coaches as well, and can put strain on one's mental health and wellness levels.

This session is hosted by the Canadian Sport Centre Saskatchewan, and will:

examine issues that coaches experience that create stress and disruptions to mental wellness,

explore the different ways that mental wellness can be disrupted, and

identify tools and strategies that coaches can use to prioritize their mental health
